Konoha's Balanced Ninja System

I originally thought that even the sand cart controlled by Gaara would take seven hours to reach the village. After all, this idea was just a flash of inspiration from Hiiragi, and he was not very clear about the actual effect.

However, the result was somewhat beyond Hiirato's expectations. He arrived at the village in just five hours.

This also shows that Gaara must have injected a lot of chakra into the sand wheel, because after Gaara dispersed the sand wheel, his face turned slightly pale.

Obviously consumption is not the reason why the sand truck is so fast.

However, according to Hiiragi's speculation, there is another possibility, it should be the reason for the four-wheel drive. After all, it is because chakra is injected into the four sand wheels and it maintains high-speed movement at the same time.

Thinking of this, Hiiragi couldn't help but smile secretly, but because of the walking at this time, the pain in the muscles in his arms still made Hiirato's face turn pale.

Hiirato's sand cart idea only requires Gaara to inject chakra to make the sand cart wheels rotate. Such rolling is not only faster, but most importantly, the consumption of chakra has been minimized as much as possible.

The most important reason why Gaara's face was still a little pale was because of the long distance.

However, although Gaara consumed more energy at this time, it had no impact on the pursuit of spies below them. Because of the use of sand trucks to travel, the time that originally took a whole day was greatly shortened.

And at the normal running speed of the Sunagakure spies, even if they were running with all their strength, even if they coughed up blood while running desperately, it was impossible to catch up with Gaara and the other three now, let alone go to Tianzhi via the Land of Fire. The country's Otogakure ninja village.

In addition, after applying for assistance to Konoha, catching those spies is already a certainty.

So Kankuro felt a little grateful to Hiirato at this time, and at the same time he admired Hiirato's novel ideas. However, because he had been defeated by Hiirato, Kankuro would not show it easily.

The size of Konoha Village is huge, and the purpose of Hiiragi and the others is the Hokage's office in the center of the village, so the journey is not short. Although Hiiragi has recovered some strength, he is still limping due to the injury on his leg. It's even more impossible to move as fast as a ninja.

So not long after walking, Hiirato was held by Kankuro and Temari, and then the four of them rushed towards the Hokage's office.

It is now about noon. At this time, Tsunade must be handling various matters in the village in the Hokage's office, so it is not difficult to find. If it is later in the evening, Tsunade may be accompanied by Shizune. Went for snacks somewhere in the village.

Sure enough, Hiiragi's guess was correct. When several people pushed open the office door, Tsunade was at the desk, looking at the piles of documents with an impatient expression.

It can be seen that Tsunade is obviously still a little helpless about dealing with these tedious documents.

However, due to Shizune's very responsible urging, Tsunade had no choice but to read through them one by one as if she was bored.

So when Hiiragi and the others suddenly walked in, Tsunade was taken aback, especially when she saw Hiiragi, an ANBU member covered in wounds.

However, after a brief surprise, Tsunade began to look happy, because she finally had a legitimate excuse not to look at these complicated documents, which made Shizune sigh helplessly.

Because the situation was urgent, Gaara and the others immediately explained their purpose of coming, while Hiirato informed Tsunade of his experiences and speculations about spy infiltration.

"I didn't expect it to be such a serious matter!"

Tsunade put her hands on the table and looked a little stern.

In fact, when she saw blood on an ANBU member's clothes, Tsunade somewhat realized that something important had happened, but it was a bit unexpected and she didn't expect it to be more serious than she thought.

Because the speculation expressed by Hiiragi is very important to the village at this time. The village is already recovering from the last attack. If even the ANBU is now infiltrated by spies, the problem will obviously be huge.

And coupled with the experiences of Gaara and Sunagakure at this time, it can be reasonably speculated that Hiirato's guess is not groundless.

"Sunagakure is Konoha's ally, and of course we will give our full assistance."

Tsunade raised her voice to Gaara and the three of them: "But I hope you can understand that now it is very likely that spies have been infiltrated into Konoha, so only a small number of people can be spared to assist you. "

"Because now it is very important for Konoha to eliminate spies within the village, which requires a lot of manpower."

What Tsunade said is true. Although Sunagakure is an ally of Konoha, it is now obvious that there may indeed be spies lurking inside the village. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, the village may be in great danger.

"Hokage-sama, I understand."

When Kankuro heard this, his expression began to change. It was not because there was too little support. After all, Kankuro still had some confidence in his abilities.

But from Hiiragi's narration and Tsunade's conversation, it is not difficult to tell that Hiiragi is facing two enemies, and the strength of these two enemies is actually a jounin and an elite jounin.

The three of them didn't know what Hiiragi had gone through last night, because when they arrived, they only saw Hiiragi being seriously injured by a guy.

But facing two enemies of such strength, Hiirato was not only killed by one of them, but he also managed to hold on for so long in the hands of another enemy.

Although he was seriously injured and could be said to have completely lost his ability to fight in the end, he was still proud enough!

Kankuro could think of this, and of course Gaara did the same. His green eyes looked at Hiirato who was covered in injuries at this time, and he was slightly surprised.

Higurashi, long time no see. Are you already so strong?

"Konoha can currently only provide two teams to the three of you, and these two are my personal bodyguards. This is already the maximum limit!"

There was not much disappointment on the faces of Gaara and others. First, they expressed their understanding of Tsunade's behavior. After all, spies in their own village naturally need to be taken more seriously.

The second is that he has enough confidence in the strength of his own people, so adding two teams should be enough to cope with it, not to mention that he is already far ahead of the spies.

After Gaara and the others went out, Tsunade told Shizune.

"Within an hour, summon the jounin from the village and the captains of all the ANBU teams!"

"Yes."

After arranging everything quickly, Tsunade immediately arranged for Hiiragi's treatment.

After removing the mask from Hiirato's face, Tsunade looked stunned.

"It's you, boy. You're making rapid progress. I remember when Hayate told me that plan, it was only about a month ago. As an intern, you're carrying out an ANBU mission so quickly?"
